Orlando is a fridge town. Hotel kitchenettes on International Drive. Apartments in Lake Nona. Downtown towers near Lake Eola. Painted steel in older houses west of I-4. The object that earns rent is the one that still sticks on a Tuesday after the pool chlorine is out of the towels.
Kitchen-door rules
Smooth painted refrigerator steel holds a thin magnet. GE Appliances puts bisque, black, and white paint in that group. Stainless is not one metal. Ferritic skins generally hold. Austenitic skins, including Type 304, usually do not — Scientific American (Thomas Devine) is the public split. Test the door with a spoon or a magnet you already own, then try a side wall. That wall is often a different steel than the door skin.
GE strongly advises against magnets on black stainless or fingerprint-resistant stainless: the magnet can damage the finish even when the steel underneath would hold. Leave a palm-width at the handle. Keep magnets off the gasket. A hotel kitchenette door can be the size of a backpack; assume a small field of steel until you see it.
| Family | Typical size | Job in this metro |
|---|---|---|
| Fridge magnet | About 2 to 4 in | Kitchen-door diary on painted steel |
| Acrylic magnet | About a 2-inch disc | Clear face; glass in Shop is the heavier cousin |
| Photo magnet | Wallet, about 2.5 × 3.5 in | One print or a ticket stub |
| Souvenir magnet | 2-inch disc to 4.4 × 3.4 in | City or Florida trip sentence |
| Gift magnet | A six- or twelve-piece set | Hotel send-off, extras for a wide door |
A 2-inch disc is the smallest city souvenir that still reads Orlando. A 4-inch round wants a wide door and a clear handle strip. A 4.4 by 3.4 inch rubber skyline is civic Orlando, not a park ticket. A 4 by 6 inch oval is a car sheet — lift it, do not slide it, and do not put it on the fridge as if it were a plaque. TSA lists magnets as allowed in carry-on and checked bags; wrap the face so a zipper does not take the trip.
